Digital Asset Management

Learning Digital Image Skill-sets

Some digital images require editing or processing once they are acquired.  This may involve cropping out content, resizing, color correction, compression, etc.   Settings associated with this editing should be determined by the required future use of the image.  Any file changes should be made on a copy (derivative) of the original (master) file and saved as a separate file.  Image editing programs such as Photoshop are available from IT.

Collection managers and others associated with a collection may request training on any of the following related topics:

  • Digital Literacy
  • Acquisition of images (Scanning, Using a Digital Camera)
  • Processing of images (Photoshop)
  • File management (related to storage and backup locations)
  • Cataloging Programs
